The PANArt tuner team presents its new sound sculpture: the Hang® Bal. Hang® Bal playing is a dance. The player himself or herself becomes an instrument. Hang® Bal playing allows space for the individual based on a collective groove. Together, a free round dance arises. Whoever has music inside will find a place here.
The Hang® Bal enjoys design protection in many countries.

The Trinidadian people gave a gift to the world: the sweet sound of steel. Each individual has to find out what is meant by this gift. You have to live it, to eat it, do digest it. In 1994 the steel orchestra Original Bernese Oil Company organized the first international Panyard in Europe. It was an insight into the nature of this gift from Trinidad, into the nature of human beings. This is a glimpse of the closing party. Enjoy!

The Hang® Urgu offers a strong pulse-like bass (78 Hertz/Eb2) and a rich percussive palette. The bass can be lowered by up to one octave by varying the hand's position in the Gu opening. Its ringding is tuned to an Eb chord and serves a double function: a sound source as well as a place to excite the air which produces the bass.
